On Saturday we went to a Christmas Market with our friend Celia and her children, yesterday the boys did rugby training and afterwards H went to a friends for a play. This week is the lull before the storm !!, so i'm taking full advantage of it, by doing some crafting ;-)

Today's image is : Penny Black - 'Frosty's Wish / 40-419 / 2015' and i thought he was crying out for a bit of paper piecing, for the pearls, i used : Viva Decor - 'Perlen-Pen', the top row of snowflakes are : Whimsy Stamps - 'Snowflake Border', the bottom snowflakes are : MS punch, the single snowflake is : Marianne D - 'LR0125' - all covered in glamour dust, the sentiment is : LOTV, the papers are : Bo Bunny - 'Snowflake Collection', the ribbon is : Papermania - 'Spot and Stripes -Blue'

Sorry if i didn't get round to you last week, but i was struggling with a head cold and cough, fortunately it has now disappeared, so i can have the flu jab today - but it usually aggravates my joints, so i'm sure by Wednesday, i'll be taking Ibuprofen !!

This is the card i've made for Alan, hope he likes it. The image is one that i recently acquired, it was one that i've wanted for a while : Penny Black - 'Merry Puppy / 2518H / 2002', the papers are really old !! : DCWV - 'The Christmas Stack', the banners are : Die-namics - 'Fishtail Flags', the sentiment is : LOTV - 'Circular Sentiments - Christmas', the pearls are : Hobby House and the brad are from my stash.

The Challenges I Would Like To Enter Are :

Stempelgarten - where Challenge No: 55 is 'Bingo' and i went for the middle line of ' Dies, Pearls and Brads'
